  • LEXT™ OLS5100 3D laser scanning microscope: Smart workflow, faster experiments

    The LEXT™ OLS5100 3D laser scanning microscope is built for failure analysis and material engineering research.

  • Watch: FDA clears most powerful clinical MRI

    The 7-tesla MRI scanner is designed to address limitations of current MRI systems by using ultrahigh-field magnet technology that offers five times more power than most scanners.

  • Watch: Compact scanner produces 3D color X-rays

    The flat greyscale imagery of X-ray technology now assumes color and a third dimension with a compact scanner developed specifically for hand and wrist imaging.

  • Researchers study microbiome of Da Vinici drawings

    The microbiome is the key to the history of these drawings.

  • Automating healthcare: These robots are taking over surgical tasks

    Doomsday prophecies about artificial intelligence (AI) and robots taking over jobs is not as far-fetched as previously thought if the healthcare industry is any indication.

  • Video: Ultra-low temperature solutions for COVID-19 vaccine storage

    A fleet of ultra-low temperature freezers capable of storing approved vaccines, regardless of variable temperature stability requirements, is under development.

  • Watch a solar-driven autoclave steam-clean medical tools

    The technology could provide pressurized steam to run autoclaves without the need for electricity in off-grid areas.

  • Facial recognition in the healthcare industry

    Facial recognition is already in use throughout the industry and promises to do much more.

  • Blueprints shared for low-cost single-molecule microscope

    The open-source microscopy platform allows biological molecule dynamics measurements at a fraction of the price of typical commercial systems.

  • Microfluidic platform tests pancreatic cancer drug efficacy

    The device tests prospective cancer drugs on multiple tumor cell subtypes and can reveal drug resistance that may occur due to the interaction of different cancer subtypes.

  • Low-cost protocol speeds antibiotic efficacy testing

    The method combines dynamic laser speckle imaging and machine learning to test antibacterial drug efficacy on infectious microbes.

  • Watch: Gel improves bioprinting of complex tissue shapes

    New gel formulations bring the 3D bioprinting of replacement organs and tissues closer to reality.

  • A peanut allergy skin patch can prevent allergic reactions

    One form of allergy treatment is being explored to reduce allergy reactions in children: a peanut allergy skin patch.
